Orange blue and glitter nails!!!!






These are easy and I think look like they took a lot more time then they really did!


Start by painting your nails orange!


Take silver polish and paint the top right corner. You can use some scotch tape if you want to make a really straight line.

Let that dry.

Next take dark blue and just paint the tip of the glitter. It should make it look like the glitter is just a thin line!


Top off with clear coat!

Ta-da!!!!

Nail polish strips fun!

Okay so I tried a bunch of times to do power ranger nails an they are super hard. I think I need to buy some smaller brushes so once I do that I will try again!! :-)

But for now here is something easy and different!

I love nail polish strips but who wants the exact same nails as someone else!? I know I pride myself on never having the same nails as anyone else!

So here's a fun new twist to them!



All you have to do is pick out one color that is in your strip. I used pink and place strips so since there was less black thank pink I used black nail polish!

Now I did them all different but you can do your nails more uniform. Like make them look like a French mani!

I cut what I wanted out of the strip first and attached them to my nail and then just filled in the empty nail spaces with black! I liked the effect! What do you think?!

Strawberry nails!!!

It's almost the end of summer. :-( but there is still enough time for a few cookouts and pool visits! These nails are perfect for the occasion!


Start with a red base coat!

Add green tips. I freehand mine but a lot of people use tape for super straight lines.

Dip a toothpick in white polish. Add tiny white dots to the red part! I did like 6-9 dots but depending on the size of your nail beds it can change.


Finish a top clear coat.

Super simple! They only took me like ten minutes!


Tomorrow I'll do power ranger nails!!!! I'm super excited! My brother in law will be painting his nails soon after he see them! ;-)

Words With Nails!



Hey everyone!!

Okay so I do not have a steady hand when to comes to painting my nails. So sometimes I see nails that I really want to do but I cant because I can not hold my hand steady for some of the designs! So I found a new option!!!

This can be used with magazine clippings or normal printer paper. But the only problem is that is really doesn't last that long, but it is perfect for one night events!

I used text but you can use pictures or whatever you want!

Check out my sisters website so you can have great nails and a great a body!


Paint your nails white! If there is any white on the paper you need to paint them  white. If not it will show through and change the color of the picture.



Print what you want on your nails and trim it down so it is small enough to fit on your nails.

Roll your paper a little bit in between your fingers so that it has a nice curl. Put a Clear top coat on your nails and then quickly place your paper on your nail. using a tooth pick press the edges down repeatedly until they are flush against your nail!

Add a top coat. (super super important!)

Send me pictures!

Learn something new on here!?! Take a picture and send it to me! I'll post them so that everyone can see your spin on them!!!

These were crystals splatter paint nails! They look awesome! Lovvveeeee her color choices!

Crackle fun!




I get bored very easily. I loved using crackle about the first three times I used it. After that it just felt like I was doing the same thing over and over. So here is a few ways to make it a little more fun!

I only have black crackle! But this post isn't about colors it's about fun stuff you can do under your crackle!







All you have to do it paint your nail three different colors!
I just painted my nails pink and put a white messy line hoping it would give it a fun look!

I think it works!
 


Glitter is always a fun option!!!!
I wanted this one to look like tie dye!

Steelers nails! French tips with a twist!

Steeler season starts soon! Maybe steelers nails is the good luck charm we need for ring number 7!!!

 

All the stuff you need!!!!

Black polish
Yellow polish
Tape


Paint your nails black! Let dry completely. If you don't when you pull tape off your base paint will peel right off

Place a piece of tape and place it diagonally across your nail. Take another and place it the opposite direction!

Pull off the tape while still wet.

Let dry!!!

Dip n dot nails!!!

My favorite part of going to Kennywood is the ice cream! So why not make my nails look like dip n dot when I am feeling nostalgic? Only problem is it makes me want to bite my nails!!!

Stuff you will need! 

White polish 
Yellow polish
Blue polish
Red polish
Pink polish
Q-tips 

Paint your nails white. 

Rip of the cotton part of one q-tip! Make sure you get all the cotton off!

Dip the end in the blue polish and touch it to your nail
This should make a nice small circle. Make a total of two dots

Do the same thing with the next three colors

I like to cluster them towards the bottom left of my nail but you can do it anywhere!

Finish off with a top coat!!!
